Dumbbell Lateral Lunge
The lateral lunge with a dumbbell in each hand; the bells hang on either side of the bent knee as the hips sit back.
How to do it
Setup
Feet together, a dumbbell hanging in each hand at the sides.
Steps
- Step out wide and sink the hips back over the stepping foot.
- Let the bells hang either side of that knee.
- Drive back to standing and repeat to the other side.
Common mistakes
Bells banging the knee: let them hang in front of and behind it. Chest collapsing onto the thigh: keep it lifted. Pushing back with the straight leg: the bent leg brings you back.
Breathing
Inhale into the lunge, exhale pushing back.
